Article for people that would want to look at some specific benchmarks for the phytium D2000. The reviewer is a bit too critical though and might have a "bug" in his head when he writes:
"In the short term, I don’t think D2000 helps China. Its performance is extremely uncompetitive even against desktop chips from a decade ago, to the point that China would be better off dumpster diving for old Intel and AMD chips. Personally I’d hate to be stuck using a D2000 even for everyday web browsing, let alone more demanding use cases like photo and video editing. Grabbing old desktop chips off the used market would cost less while providing a more usable computing experience, and give China better resistance against possible sanctions."
Using a older processor for comparison can help gauge how far development is but it also help project "china backwards" type of racial bias. If one already knows that these chips are low performing, it would be also beneficial to be comparing it against more recent lowly celeron n5095 , i3u , or mediatek p60... processors that you would find in new computers and find still usable for dad 2 day tasks.
